[Action1 : 921 Bilko Blvd. Waking up is awfully strange, especially when you don't sleep. Aurora Belle sits up in the bed for a few moments, blinking in confusion. Everything around her was solid, as well. Was this some new fancy house in the Afterlife? They certainly never had pajamas before there. Or sleeping people.

Speaking of. Poke poke, sleeping man. There's a lovely new wife for you to wake up to.]


Hello! Hi. Um. I have a lot of questions for you, if you don't mind.

[After that, it's off to explore the house. She'll be gawking at the photos, poking the appliances, and generally touching anything and everything like it is all shiny, new and novel. This will lead to a phone call to everyone! There's a clattering sound as the receiver hits the ground.]

Oh no! Did I break it? What... How do these things work again? [Insert the sound of the receiver being fiddled with.]


[Later, Action 2: Aurora has taken to the streets to explore her surroundings. Despite any warnings she may have been given, she looks like she's having a grand old time. She looks positively giddy as she comes upon the park. She'll be stopping whoever passes by to share her joy with.]

Isn't. This. AMAZING? I had no idea that the sun felt like this! Or that the air smelled like this! [She breathes in and lets out a deep breath.] And that breathing is so easy! You don't even have to think about it or anything! Or blinking, either! Or a lot of things! Hey, do you think I can climb that tree?

[She's... she's just a little too chipper for him to handle right now.]

Town that lets ya... so ya sayin' yer something else?

I was in the Afterlife. I was dead.

[She says this very plainly, not bothered, still playing with the flower.]

[Yeah, run that by him again.]

[Looks up at him now... He looks confused.]

I know! I thought it was strange too, that I would get brought here from the Afterlife, but what do you know! Here I am, corporeal again. If bad things are going to happen here, well... I'm just not going to think about them yet. I'll worry about it when the time comes.

[He's trying to figure this out...]

If yer... if yer a ghost, then shouldn't ya remember what things were like before ya died?

... That's how it works, don't it?

forgive my lack of icons

[Shakes her head] Nope, not at all, actually! I think it's better that way, don't you? Then you don't miss anyone or anything. You just have the Afterlife, and the other people there. Though if I don't get back there, they're going to think I fell into the Void... Oh no.

:3c

... From what I gather, time doesn't seem t'matter from wherever ya come from...



Not missing anyone or... anything. Hm.

[He shook his head.]

Don't worry 'bout the others, they won't notice yer gone.

From: [identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com
Sure they will! One someone disappears there, it's really bad news. They might have gotten exorcised, or worse.

... I really think yer fine. Don't worry 'bout it.

That doesn't explain anything. What do you know about this place?

...


Well I know ya got yerself kidnapped from yer home world and placed here to fit in for no reason, and all worldly possessions and powers ya had before hand were stripped away aaaaand...

If the town lets ya leave 'nd come back, there's a fifty-fifty chance ya won't remember the place at all.

You can be sent home and brought back again? But... why do they... Ugh, this place doesn't make any sense.

Don't think too hard 'bout it.

[That said, he turns and decides it best to take his leave.]

[Oh no way son] That's all you've got to say? That's not very helpful. Surely you had to be confused when you first got here, and someone helped you!

From: [identity profile] emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com
Guess it's been a while since I got here... helping other folk ain't my strong point. ...Though I guess ya got a point and have every right to be worried.


Alright. So what can I help ya with?

[She stands up, hands on hips, looking satisfied.]

Well. My guess is that if people have been kidnapped and don't like being here, that means there's no way to get out, right? I walked around in circles earlier. It was almost disorienting! If that's the case, do you know if anyone has tried to get out of here, or what they might have tried? Or is there at least a way to get word to the outside world? ... An outside world?

Ah, well... guess I've been so locked up in my own matters that I honestly haven't paid much attention to what others have tried. All's I recall is that...

[Thinking of a lie... thinking...]

... it's next to impossible to tell anyone from home where yer at.

"Next to impossible"? Does that mean there IS a way, or just a way someone hasn't found yet...?

Date: 2011-09-17 01:37 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com
Uh... maybe? Yes? Well, no. No one hasn't found it yet.

Date: 2011-09-18 03:57 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com
Oh. I guess I'll have to work on it then! Have you tried anything yourself?
